How to Make a Weekly Schedule: See Work, Study and Rest at a Glance
Key points
- Choose "By time of day" and set start and end times
- Enter fixed things such as sleep and meals first
- Place study and rest in the free time
A timetable only covers classes. When you want to see your whole week, a weekly schedule is handy.
How to make one
- In Create a Timetable / Weekly Schedule, choose "By time of day".
- Set start and end times, for example 8:00 to 24:00.
- Choose 60 or 30 minutes per row. Use 30 if you want finer detail.
- Enter your plans for each day.
What to enter, in order
- Fixed things: classes, job shifts, commuting
- Daily life: sleep, meals, a bath
- What you want to do: study, exercise, hobbies, seeing friends
- Buffer: spare time in case plans slip
Tips for readability
- Type the same plan with the same text and it gets the same color.
- Use short words such as "class", "work", "study".
- Too many colors are hard to read. Keep the kinds few.
Reviewing
After a week, look back at how it really went and adjust the sheet. If you saved your entries, Create a Timetable / Weekly Schedule lets you continue from where you left off.
Print it or carry it
Besides printing the PDF, you can save the image (PNG) and use it as your phone wallpaper.
